In this case the ruling is for the students. The court decided that the school did not prove that the armbands would cause a distraction because they were never allowed in the school. Also, the court ruled that students still do have some first amendment rights once they enter a school, and these rights need to be respected.
TLO v. New Jersey
In this cases the ruling is for the school. The court ruled that the continued search of TLO's purse was reasonable. Finding cigarettes gave the principal reasonable suspicion that there might be other dangerous or harmful items in the purse. While students do have some of the protections offered in the Bill of Rights while they are in school, they are not guaranteed all of these rights. Often, the safety of the student and the other students needs to be the priority.
Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier
In this case the ruling is for the school. The school is ultimately responsible for the school newspaper, therefore the administration can have the final say over what goes into it. Freedom of the press in school does not apply to the level it does in the public. Schools have the right limit what goes into their newspaper based upon the appropriateness of the content and the age of the students.
